EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts two fascinating reptiles native to the Mediterranean region: the Western Green Lizard (Lacerta viridis) and the Sandfish Skink (Scincus scincus). The illustration is taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, published by F.G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830. The Western Green Lizard, also known as the European Green Lizard or the Common European Lizard, is a widespread species found throughout Europe, North Africa, and the western coast of Asia. As its name suggests, it is characterized by its vibrant green coloration, which helps it blend seamlessly into its environment. This lizard is an excellent climber and spends most of its time basking on rocks or sunning itself. The Sandfish Skink, on the other hand, is a small, slender reptile that inhabits sandy and rocky areas. It is also known as the Sand Lizard or the Sand Snake, but it is not a snake at all, but rather a lizard. The Sandfish Skink is well-adapted to its environment, with long, spindly legs that enable it to move quickly through the sand. Its coloration ranges from brown to gray, allowing it to blend in with the sand and avoid detection by predators. The illustration was produced by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), who was a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became an artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving was executed by Massard, under the direction of Turpin. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the illustration are a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft and their dedication to accurately recording the natural world.
